To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAULINE HENRIETTE VAN LAAR, subject of Netherlands,residing at Gerzensee, Canton of Berne, Switzerland, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in a D011, of which the following isa specification.

The present invention relates to a doll which is normally used as a toybut which if convenient may also be transformed into a pillow.

In the drawing one working form of the object of the invention isrepresented as an example.

Fig. 1 is a front view of the doll, Fig. 2 a side view of the dolltransformed into a pillow, and Figs. 3 and L show the under and uppersides of this pillow.

According to the drawing the trunk 1 of the doll is a thin square pillowhaving rigidly attached to its side-edges two loops 2 representing thearms with hands put in the pockets. The legs 3 are loosely attached asis also the head 4 which is intended to form the stuffing of the pillowand is very enlarged so as to cover nearly the whole trunk when laidacross the same. The legs stuck through the loops have to maintain thehead put across the trunk the back side of which is forming theupperside of the pillow.

The doll may also be provided with a neck-tie 5 which attached to thetrunk only on its front side may be used as a handle to carry the dollafter its transformation into a pillow.

As a doll is easily soiled and would as such be unfit for being used asa pillow some buttons 6 or other suitable means are provided on the backof the doll that is on the upper side of the pillow which means areadapted to attach a pillow-case 7 thereto.

All limbs of the doll are stulfed and on the whole any hard'body whichmight hurt a child is avoided, even the buttons 6 are made of softstuff.
